The First Presbyterian Home Goods Community Pantry is open on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Items offered to the community will include the following household essentials: Paper towels (2-pack), toilet paper (4-pack), tissues (small pack), trash bags (10-count), dish soap (one bottle), laundry detergent, and disinfectant wipes.

We are currently accepting donations for our pantry, specifically for the items listed above. Cash donations are also welcomed. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Please mark your calendars and come to our weekly Bible discussion class every Tuesday at 10:00am in the library. Pastor Jeff will lead the study. Expect coffee and refreshments!

All are invited.  Please mark your calendars. We hope to see you there!

We are calling all members, visitors, and friends of First Presbyterian Church to a time of prayer for our congregation as we discern the future of First Presbyterian. This will include
the provision of prayer guides and a series of events focused on God's call to us as First Presbyterian Church in this modern world.

Many foster children who pass through and reside at the Presbyterian Home for the Highlands (PCHH) leave home without any belongings. As winter approaches, foster care facilities and new foster families see a rise in the need for warm winter clothing— especially coats. Our church is collecting new or gently used coats as well as hats/scarves and gloves in sizes ranging from infant to men’s 4XL for these children. Please place donated items in the collection bins in the Sanctuary narthex or just outside the chapel in Fraser Building. To give funding for this project, please put PCHH in the memo line of your check or put cash in an envelope marked PCHH. Thank you for your love and generosity!
